NIC drivers and settings

Refer to the following topics for important information about NIC driver updates for your hypervisor host and NIC settings for the QoreStor virtual machine.

Hyervisor host NIC driver updates for VMQ

Before deploying the QoreStor virtual machine, you may need to update certain hypervisor host NIC drivers to support the VMQ feature. Check your Hypervisor host NIC feature list and update the driver to the latest version as needed. For example, you should update the Broadcom NetXtreme I and NetXtreme II Ethernet adapter driver to 17.6.0 (or later) to add VMQ support; otherwise, you might experience performance degradation during normal operations.

Evaluating QoreStor

QoreStor is available in several lightweight demonstration images that provide a simple way to evaluate QoreStor without consuming the resources needed for production-ready deployments. QoreStor demo images are available for:

  • Oracle VirtualBox
  • VMWare Workstation
  • Microsoft Hyper-V
  • VMware ESXi

For information regarding the demo image requirements, refer to QoreStor VM SpecificationsFor up-to-date information regarding supported versions of the above platforms, refer to the QoreStor Interoperability Guide.

NOTE: Demo images for Oracle VirtualBox, VMware Workstation, and VMware ESXi are available on the QoreStor trial page of the Quest website. The demo image for Hyper-V is included in the standard Hyper-V image available on the Quest Support download page.
